I can kill demons. I can crash cars. Things are looking up! (с)
Заодно Майкл Соча решил высказать все, что думает по поводу работы в Вансе.
How did that experience compare to working on something like Once Upon A Time, then, for US network TV?
Fuck me, yeah. Massive, massive deal. When I first got there and did the spin-off [Once Upon A Time In Wonderland], I was working an awful lot. It was great to work in the green screen studios and all that sort of stuff. It opened my eyes and I got to see a completely different world. I got to see LA. I got to live in Vancouver for two years, eventually.
But then I joined the main show and I wasn’t really used, so I found myself in Vancouver for a long time not really doing owt, which fucked me up a bit really. I thought, if I’m going to be here, fucking do something with me. I’ve got a boy at home and it’s crucifying me being here and not working. If I was here working, I’d feel I was doing something at least, but it kind of fucked me up a bit really.
Wonderland was incredible, but Once Upon A Time, I found it quite soul-destroying. My mam came out for three months eventually because I just wasn’t doing owt. I found it sort of unfair. It wasn’t the fault of the powers that be, it was just the way the cookie crumbled I suppose, but I didn’t really enjoy it by the end.
The fan reaction was definitely that your character, Will, was under-served on the main show.
Originally, they asked me to come and said I was going to be in all these episodes. So the contract was written. The fans are so loyal to the characters that are already there and there’s so much that they have to conclude with the characters that were already there, I think I became more of a hindrance than anything. I didn’t really know what I was doing there. (с)

А что, кто-то ещё высказывался, почему "заодно"?
Не, "заодно" исключительно к теме Ванса.
Правда, лучше бы он ТРТВ не стал оправдывать в конце, конечно, они не виноваты, щас.
С учетом того, что остальные оставшиеся не у дел регуляры предпочитают улыбаться и махать (или улыбаться и молчать), я вообще удивлена, что Майкл прямо сказал, что ему не понравилась такая работа, и что это не были лучшие сорок секунд в его актерской карьере. (Хотя, видимо, это означает, что ни про Валета, ни про Анастасию мы больше ничего не узнаем...)
Вот поэтому я и считаю, что он молодец, хоть кто-то вещи своими именами назвал, хотя бы отчасти.
Хотя, видимо, это означает, что ни про Валета, ни про Анастасию мы больше ничего не узнаем...
Сильно подозреваю, что о них мы ничего не узнали бы в любом случае.
А ведь тоже, каким глотком свежего воздуха был Валет в первых своих сценах в Вансе, эх…
Да, еще одна загадка Ванса: они умеют зажигательно и многообещающе представить героев... для которых ничего не припасено.
С другой стороны, после своего фикотворчества я где-то даже понимаю Адама и Эдди: у меня тоже случалось, что персонаж, который в теории идеально вписывался в историю, на практике оказывался в ней лишним и вымарывался из текста.
